sity and four sororities. But even i f we are weak in numbers, we
are strong in fraternity spirit and sisterly love.

Our chapter has been very quiet socially this year, not yet having
recovered from several large receptions given last year. One of these
in February was in honor of Inez Cunningham from Memphis, who
was visiting her sister, Myrtle. The wives of several members of the
faculty entertained for Omicron and several small affairs were given
by the members of the chapter

Our only graduate in June, 1908, was Lucretia Howe Jordan.
This year we have two seniors, Janie and Laura Swift Mayo.

We are using as a frat. room this year one of the rooms in Bar-
bara Blount H a l l , the home for women. I t is furnished as far as
possible in red, and although too small for entertaining, has already
been the scene of several informal gatherings.

A chapter of * M was installed in our university last spring and
has already made for itself a place in the college life.

We had the pleasure of having with us for a few days last June,

KAPPA. RANDOLPH-MACON WOMAN'S COLLEGE

Kappa chapter opened the college year with nine active members,
three seniors, two juniors, two sophomores, and two specials, and
since that time has secured six new members, Margaret Bullitt, '11,
Elizabeth Webber, Eleanor Somerville, Gladys Trabue, Helen
O'Rear, and Mary Vaden, all regular freshmen. Kappa is proud,
and justly so we think, of its initiates for they are all girls desirable
not only for the reason that they will promote congeniality within
the chapter, but further because they are thoroughly capable of up-
holding Kappa's standard in college and of making others aware of
our high ideals.

Kappa gave its annual "rushing" luncheon at the Carrol Hotel
on the twenty-fifth of September. There were present besides the
nine old Kappa girls and our advisory member, ten freshmen.

During "rushing season" Lola Wannamaker, '08, visited our
advisory member, Mrs. Clara Murray Cleland, who lives very near
the college. She spent part of her time as Kappa's guest, and was
an indispensable aid to us in rushing.

The regular initiation banquet was given on Saturday, the fifth
of November.

Mamie Hurt, '09, is chairman of the Student Committee, presi-
dent of the Boat Club, and a member of the Y. W. C. A. cabinet.
In athletics, Kappa is represented by Ada Donaldson, '09, Olga
